Newton's Second Law

Newton’s Second Law of Motion explains the relationship between force, mass, and acceleration. It describes two key principles:

• Increasing force increases acceleration – When a greater force is applied to an object, it causes the object to accelerate more.
  

Have you ever pushed a swing at the playground? The harder you push, the higher it goes, right?

That happens because of Newton’s Second Law of Motion. It states that an object’s acceleration, which is how quickly its speed changes, depends on its mass and the force applied to it.

Now, consider pushing a shopping cart. A gentle push m...
